AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT AND APPROPRIATING AND BUDGETING CDBG AND
HOME FUNDS THEREFOR
ISSUE
Shall City Council approve and adopt the 2012-2013 Annual Action Plan as presented,
and appropriate and budget CDBG and HOME funds for the projects/activities outlined.
The Plan contains the funding recommendations made by the Citizen’s Advisory
Committee. Each recommended project to be funded with the 2012-2013 grant is an
eligible project and has been through the application and public hearing process as
required, as well as meeting an established priority of the 2010-2014 Consolidated Plan.
RECOMMENDATION
Approval of the Ordinance.
BACKGROUND
As an entitlement city, the City of Pueblo is required by HUD to complete an annual
action plan for each of the years of the Consolidated Plan. The Action Plan and the
accompanying documentation serves as the City’s application to HUD for the 2012
CDBG and HOME federal grants. This Action Plan is the third plan under the 2010-
2014 Five-Year Consolidated Plan.
One public meeting was held to receive citizen input and to interview applicants. The
recommendations of the Citizen’s Advisory Committee were presented to the City
Council at the October 3rd, 2011, Work Session. The recommendations were also
published in The Pueblo Chieftain on November 5, 2011. The Plan was distributed to
Council under separate cover and an original copy was on file at the City Clerk’s Office
for public inspection.
If CDBG funding is received in excess of the estimated amount, the funds will be
allocated to CD1201 - Program Administration, up to the allowed cap and to the City’s
Neighborhood Revitalization Program activity, CD1217 –Minor Repairs Program.
Funding cuts will be applied based on scoring. Applications with the lowest scores will
absorb the funding cuts.
Cuts to the HOME grant will be taken proportionately by programs that have set-aside
requirements and contractual obligations, i.e. Community Housing Development
Organizations and Pueblo County. Additional cuts will be absorbed under activity
HO1206 – Rehab/Infill/New Construction/TBRA.

1- Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) $1,514,156.
a. 2012 grant for $1,513,456;
